People Absolutely Lost It After LeBron Was Ejected From A Game For The First Time In His Career

And Knicks center Enes Kanter used the moment as an opportunity to troll him on Twitter.

Published November 29th

For the first time in 1,082 career NBA games, LeBron James was ejected last night.

The unexpected moment came with 1:59 remaining in the third quarter of last night's Cleveland Cavaliers' home win over the Miami Heat when James felt like he was fouled on a layup attempt and gave referee Kane Fitzgerald an earful about it.

King James' air punch and the vulgarity he used triggered Fitzgerald to toss him for the first time in his 15-year NBA career.

"It was a culmination of a couple different acts," Fitzgerald said, as reported by ESPN. "Immediately after the no-call, he turned and threw an air punch directly at me, and then he aggressively charged at me, and then he used vulgarity in my ear a few times."

James tried to explain the ejection after the game as well.

"I got fouled all the way up the court, from the time that I stripped him, all the way until I got to the rim," James said of the events paving the way to his ejection, as reported by ESPN. "I said what I had to say and then I moved on, but he decided I should get [ejected]. It is what it is. We got the win and that's what's most important."

That being said, people saw the first ejection of King James' career and absolutely lost their minds on Twitter and Instagram.

Here's the sequence of events that led to LeBron James' first NBA ejection
